New submission from Ritesh Raj Sarraf <r...@researchut.com>: Shoudl argparse be included in the Python Standard Library.
I know we already have getopt and optparse but optparse doesn't support many features easily. (like options without hyphen, nargs=*) Here a little about argparse: argparse: Python command line parser The argparse module makes writing command line tools in Python easy. Just briefly describe your command line interface and argparse will take care of the rest, including: parsing the arguments and flags from sys.argv converting arg strings into objects for your program formatting and printing any help messages and much more ... For those familiar with the optparse module from the Python standard library, argparse improves on this module in a number of ways, including: handling positional arguments supporting sub-commands allowing alternative option prefixes like + and / handling zero-or-more and one-or-more style arguments producing more informative usage messages providing a much simpler interface for custom types and actions ---------- components: Extension Modules messages: 89134 nosy: rickysarraf severity: normal status: open title: should we include argparse type: feature request versions: Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6247> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
